The high Sonoran Desert serves up golf as it should be played—target golf that rewards precision over brawn across rolling arroyos and natural desert washes. Ken Kavanaugh's understated design threads fairways between towering saguaros and palo verde trees, demanding course management from elevated tees that showcase the Santa Rita Mountains. What separates this track from Arizona's resort darlings is its authentic desert character—no forced carries over manufactured lakes, just pure desert golf where errant shots disappear into the mesquite.
